Do you have a good tube source, Frank?
Depends on what kind of tube you are looking for. The station gets their big
tubes directly from the manufacturer. For standard consumer tubes, I don't like
buying them mail-order because they cost too much, and many times are used (low
emission) and the pins are just buffed up to make them look new. I highly
recommend getting a tube tester and start hoarding them from wherever you can
find them, usually at garage sales and thrift shops. A couple months ago I went
to a yard sale and got an old reel-2-reel that they just gave away because it
was old and ugly. Inside were a half-dozen Telefunken 12AX7s and several other
goodies. The tubes are out there, you just have to know how they are packaged.
